Sand Hollow Dunes, Southern Utah

I spent a couple hours out at Sand Hollow early this morning. Didn't get the sunrise, but did get some nice pictures of the freshly wind swept sand and the beautiful springtime life.
 A small piece of grass growing out of the rippled bright orange sand.
 A globe of Cryptanth in bloom. This plant covers the bottom leeward side of a lot of the dunes, and sure adds some nice character to the desolate place.
 A cottonwood tree on the way out to "The Bowl" with its new bright green leaves. Cottonwoods are markers of natural water sources in the desert.
A closeup of texture of the sand and its wind blown ripples.
